It can be the line on a beach at the high water point, the scummy ring around the bath at the level the water reached, or a line on a person's body revealing they didn't have a bath and just washed the bits they thought would show.
I'd like to suggest a fourth – the patterns left on sand as the tide recedes. Don't you think this tidemark is beautiful?
As soon as I read that, I could almost feel my Nanna scrubbing at my neck with tissue and spit. :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a proper Nanna thing to do!
DeleteI like your definition best - and the photo is really cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alex.
Deleteit's a boootiful tide mark
ReplyDeleteCheers, Mac.
DeleteLovely photo - but it's not the first thing I think of when I hear the word. I think of dirty baths!!
ReplyDeleteI think of my little brother's neck, Helen. (I'm fairly sure he never looks at my blog.)
DeleteBeautiful photo but yes, the first image is always of a scummy bath.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to keep the beach image in mind.
DeleteYou’re right - it’s a beautiful picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Wendy.
DeleteLovely picture to start the morning with.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it, Rosemary.
DeleteHi Patsy - one of my favourite pictures is of the tidemarks left when the tide receded ... but so many alternatives to think about .. and there's always another thread wanting to escape ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThere are distractions everywhere, Hilary.
